Intervention Records is absolutely thrilled to introduce another classic record in its (Re)Discover Series, Joan Armatrading. The 180-gram vinyl (Cat# IR-029) on-sale date is February 15, 2019. That will be followed by a hybrid CD/SACD (Cat# IR-SCD5) on February 22.

Produced and recorded by legend Glyn Johns, Joan Armatrading is the breakout record that saw Joan assume full command of her extraordinary talents and leap to the forefront of rock's great female stars. A soulful, soaring voice and a powerful and evocative songwriter. The smash hits include "Love and Affection," "Down to Zero," and "Somebody Who Loves You."

Joan Armatrading's 180-gram LP is 100% Analog Mastered by Kevin Gray at CoHEARent Audio from the best source available- phenomenal-sounding 1/2" safety copy of the original stereo master tape. The remastering is amazing! Thanks to Glyn Johns' recording and production work, Joan's vocals and guitar playing have never sounded so rich, resonant and dynamic. This is an audiophile demo disc all the way.

Gray mastered the hybrid CD/SACD Direct-to-DSD from analog tape, using the same mastering as the amazing-sounding LP. It will be housed in a super jewel box.

The album art is beautifully restored by IR's Tom Vadakan.
